Volunteer to save lives without prior registration
Discussing the draft Law on Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue on the morning of November 1, delegate Nguyen Van Manh (Vinh Phuc) proposed to review the definition of accidents and incidents.
Delegates proposed to revise: "Accidents and incidents are events caused by nature, humans, or animals that threaten or cause damage to human life, health, or property of agencies, organizations, or individuals that require rescue" to make it easier to understand and more practical.
This is also the current regulation in use in Clause 3, Article 3, Decree No. 83/2017/ND-CP on rescue work of fire prevention and fighting forces.
Regarding fire prevention, fire fighting, rescue and volunteer rescue, delegate Nguyen Van Manh said that in Clause 2, Article 39 stipulates: "Individuals who wish to participate in fire prevention, fire fighting, rescue and volunteer rescue activities must register with the police at the commune level where they reside for mobilization when required."
Delegates asked, in the case of volunteers who rescue and participate in emergency fire prevention and fighting, do they have to register with the police?
In fact, there are many volunteers who participate in rescue operations in emergencies to save people and limit casualties when there are no authorities available.
The delegate gave an example of a young man who saved several people in a fire at a motel in Trung Kinh (Cau Giay, Hanoi) or people who participated in extinguishing the fire and rescuing people in a series of accidents at Phu My Bridge (Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City) in August when authorities had not yet arrived at the scene.
Therefore, the delegate proposed to add the phrase "except for volunteer fire prevention and rescue in emergency situations" at the end of the above clause.
Regarding fire reporting and situations requiring rescue, delegate Nguyen Van Manh proposed considering adding a provision stipulating that the People's Committee at the commune level is responsible for informing about the list of agencies and organizations belonging to the fire prevention, firefighting and rescue forces, and the police agency in the commune, along with hotline numbers and contact addresses so that people know and choose the nearest place to report a fire, rescue, and provide rescue services in case of need.
Proposal to add fire protection to high-rise apartments
Delegate Vu Hong Luyen (Hung Yen) proposed adding fire prevention measures to high-rise apartment buildings because many of them have been used for a long time, have degraded infrastructure, and are prone to fires and explosions...
According to delegate Vu Hong Luyen, high-rise apartments are densely populated areas with high risk of fire and explosion. Many high-rise apartments were built a long time ago, and during use, the technical system was damaged or repaired, leading to the work of fire prevention, fire fighting, rescue and relief no longer being guaranteed.
Delegates said that there should be regulations on the traffic system leading to high-rise apartment buildings to ensure that at least specialized fire prevention, firefighting, rescue and emergency vehicles can access it when a fire or explosion occurs to minimize damage to people and property.
In addition, escape skills are a particularly important basic skill for people. In order to protect themselves and those around them, reduce casualties, and coordinate well with rescue forces when fires and explosions occur, delegate Vu Hong Luyen suggested that the drafting agency study and supplement more detailed and specific regulations on escape skills.
Accordingly, the responsibilities of those trained and fostered in fire prevention, fire fighting, rescue and first aid are supplemented.
“This is to ensure that escape skills do not stop at equipping people with theory and knowledge, but must become a natural reflex of every citizen when any fire or explosion, big or small, occurs,” said Ms. Luyen.
